Alto Shiraz; with its good tannic back bone can also bear the added weight that the smokiness lends to any dish. The delicate spicy quality, married to a dark fruitiness, makes it the perfect accompaniment to the smoky biltong.

    Directions

      blank

      1. Take 1 round of feta and pat dry using paper towel.
      2. Dip into 1 beaten egg and then into some breadcrumbs – you can repeat this process more than once depending on how thick you would like the crumb.
      3. Fry the crumbed feta in a pan until it is crispy – I added some basil & thyme herbs with some butter in the pan to add more flavour.
      4. Serve with a selection of olives and the buttery goodness from the pan.

      1. Slice the bell peppers, sprinkle with smoke paprika salt and olive oil, place them on a baking tray in the oven with the garlic pods.
      2. Bake at 180 degrees until the skin starts to blister.
      3. I usually remove the skin, but you can skip this step if you have a good food processor
      4. Place the bell pepper, garlic, chickpeas and tahini paste in the food processor and mix until smooth.
      5. I add lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper as I mix to taste and texture consistency needed.
